The law school is planning a major renovation of its Gabriel and Matilda Barnett Information Technology Center and the Am V. Call Law Library. This $5 million core renovation project is estimated to begin in summer 2004 or 2005, Mid Albert Brecht, associate dean of the law library.
Working with both university and Altoon k Porter architects to design the renovated library, the project will be spread over two summers, working on one floor at a time to improve accommodations for almoat 400,000 books and texts on microforms, as well as 600 law students. \
The renovations will help the library store the more-than-6,000 texts it receive! annually. Brecht
Mid.
"The last time a renovation was ’ done was in 1989," Brecht Mid. "The planned renovation will bring us op to what other major law achooi
libraries are offering their law itu-dents.*
The law school Iim raised almost $2.2 million through grants and gift* from private individuals and foundations for this renovation project, also known aa the core project.
It will renovate both floors of the library and add a more comprehensive wireleu Internet and electronic database network, including laptop acceu to Lexis-Nexis and Weadaw, Brecht Mid.
The library’! facilities,, such as the computer lab, computer-training daaaroom and atudy group rooms will be renovated and expanded. Other library facilities will be more computer and laptop friendly. .'
One major problem the renovation aims to address is wheelchair acceuibility to the aecond floor of the library. PreMntly, patrons requiring wheelchair accesa must take the elevator to the top floor, exit the building from a balcony and re-enter the library through a separate entrance, Brecht Mid. The renovation will bring an internal elevator hi the library, making it more wheelchair friendly.
